Store Director​/City Manager

Summary A leading French ready-to-wear and accessories brand is opening its third U.S. location in the Miami Design District in September, followed by two Bloomingdale's concession corners (women's and men's) in Aventura at the end of October.

The role reports to the General Manager, Americas, partners closely with the Paris headquarters, and works alongside the U.S. retail leadership team that operates the New York and Los Angeles flagships.

• Build the brand's presence with the South Florida client community, including the resident Latin American clientele that defines the Miami luxury market and the seasonal traffic that flows in from the Northeast and internationally
